Ania - thanks for sharing your experience! That is so hopeful. For What it's Worth, I'd take the grade skip IF your son wants it, because then he'll have more kids who are closer to him intellectually nearby.

Which Summer Institute do you mean? Start a thread on it - I'll look for it.

Mary - your story sounds so good too, I'll send you an email through the parent's list, or put your email on the YS Directory. ((smile))
